One tradition during the holiday season in central New York is the arrival of Saranac Season's Best from the F.X. Matt Brewing Company. If my calculations are correct, this marks the 30th year that this holiday beer has been brewed. Remember how it started?

If you're one who appreciates quality beer, you've probably already discovered a number of fine craft-brewed Octoberfest brews, with Saranac at the top of the list. But, I discovered another great Octoberfest lager that you may want to try.

We all know that a pint is 16 ounces. Now a bill has been introduced in Michigan that would make it a law that when taverns serve a pint of draft beer, it must be 16 ounces! Isn't it? Guess not, and here are the details.

By now you know me as the Big Frog 104 "beer guy", and it seems there's a different style of beer for each season. This time of year, you're probably seeing a lot of Octoberfest (or Oktoberfest) style beers in the stores. So, what makes an Octoberfest?

During our vacation in Cape Cod last week, my wife and I searched out some new destinations. And of course, I found a brewery! As a former tour guide during my college days at the F.X. Matt Brewery, I appreciate other breweries (and brewery tour guides) and discovered Cape Cod Brewery in Hyannis, Cape Cod Massachusetts.
